This.

I'm more a crumble girl myself rather than pie, possibly because it's easier and less fattening and also sweet pies aren't a big thing here like in the US. Meat pies on the other hand are very popular here. Having said that I am sure the best pie would outdo the best crumble in taste.

Is Eurotrash your husband? I'd so call my partner this if he was from Europe. It's so stupid it becomes really funny. Well it's funny as I'm assuming he isn't trash lol.

She's a beaut. Let her set overnight, didn't run, blueberry filling (from fresh blueberries) stayed perfectly intact and within their individual slices.

Not showing cut pie is like not showing interior of steak. Bad!

I waited to get down to a more manageable view, here we see the last quarter of her

I always like to compare a pie's flavor from the first day and then a few days later. The first slice I had (not pictured) was perfectly set. I had it for breakfast and the cinnamon and sugar on the very lightly buttered crust were perfect for morning time. The blueberries were all ripe, no under-ripe or smashed included in the filling, so we have the perfect balance of sweet with just a faint sour bite.

Two days later and we still have the perfect pie, the filling is perfect and I asked my friend to judge the aroma, he was speechless and could only drool.

Last couple pies looking super-solid and no egg in the fruit filling!

Awesome pie, in the spirit of the Pielebration if you win this contest you will get your rolling slowpoke avatar, heck, the winner of the contest gets a new avatar of his/her liking.

Pie eating: And if you want a championship of your own, on Thursday July 20 we're going to be doing some pie eating.

Post what type of pie you intend to eat and a different expert panel (prob me) will determine its PEq (Pie Equivalent) score for contest purposes. And then we shall eat.

I'm thinking of eating like a dozen McDonald's pies.

Unfortunatley I can't compete until mid august, but this number seems low, at least for me. Check it with bobbo but I thing the line should be at 20.

Good luck to all participants

Cut into my pluot pie today. Oat crumble is phenomenal and clearly the right choice, aesthetics be damned. Cardamom, allspice, ginger, and cinnamon as spices in the filling and crumble. Lemon balances the sweet nicely. Recipe is "plumble pie" from the Four and Twenty Blackbirds pie book I referenced earlier.

I will say I could pack a lot more fruit into this, recipe was a little skimpy in a standard 9" pie plate.

same time I got those peaches, I got a bunch of pluots too, which I don't like, so gave to my parents. Probably should've made another pie

My friend got me those plates for Christmas because she knows me well. I thought she'd come over for pie today, but she didn't. I'm not sure there will be any left. But I think I have to make another one of these for her and coworkers.
